Toyota try hardworking to bring more useful features to costumer to make sure always stay number 1 in the car manufacturing… this is what I got in this topic. No wonder ppl likes branded even Toyota is no. 1 to American today.

Another things is that almost everyone talking about accident due to the drivers faults. But what about accidents due to some other vehicle crashing into you. In the real world. Accidents happen be it due to your fault or others. Embrace the technology of modern cars that would help to avoid an accident or reduce the risk of injuriy.

Goos idea, now who has a few million dollars to spare? Ops, apparently, many are busier saving costs, n still post losses.

It’s just cheaper n more effective to get people to improve their driving skills. Of course accidents can still happen, but it helps if we’re prepared for it ie getting buckled up.

What are you babling about? Because you were involved in an accident and got an experience of an airbag deployment, does it make you an expert? You survived but complaining about the discomfort of the airbag? Maybe you would have preferred death?

If you don’t want an airbag to save you next time, buy a car without airbags equipped.

Look at many ppl’s attitude when govt wanna intro compulsory rear seat belt ruling. Some say more opportunity for polis to ask duit kopi la, some say kroni la, some say membebankan rakyat la, some say govt got nothing more important to do la, this la that la blablabla. Very few applaud this positive move, n even then, those who show support must’ve been labelled as supporting BN ie supporting corruption, racism, kronyism, nepotism, etcetc. Puh-leez la……

I hv 2 frens involved in accidents. In both cases, seat belts are their true saviour, airbags meanwhile only deploy after they’ve stopped dead (A Honda Civic latest gen n a Kia Carnival aka Naza Ria).

Airbags, can fail. Yes, they mayb nice to hv, but my point is if we can’t even belt up, dun expect other safety features to make up for it. U dun belt up, u get f*cked up, it’s ur fault, nt the car’s fault, not the govt’s fault for trying to get u to belt up, n nt the police’s fault who wouldn’t hv asked u duit kopi if u buckled up. Period.

2 or 3 years ago, I remember there was a local news of the “uncrushable” S-class involved in an accident where all 4 occupants dead. That’s a car with 9, 10, or 11 airbags for all I care.

Safety is just like the fish proverb. U can give a man a fish n he’ll feed for a day. U teach him how to fish, u feed him a lifetime. U give a “monyet” an “uncrushable” S-class sekalipun, it will still crash it. U teach a man how to drive safely, he won’t die even if he’s in just a junk proton.

More emphasis needs to given to safety education at driving schools. I just read today’s paper where the public can ride a crane or something that has car seats with seat belts to simulate the impact of an accident. Maybe everyone needs to be given a ride in it.

What, you guys can make better airbags than them? Show us.[/quote]
Aku pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan jalan raya disebabkan seekor monyet yang bolah bawa kereta mahal (Mati tak pakai seat belt tercampak keluar kereta). Terima kasih atas teknologi airbag, kalau tak aku tak ada kat sini nak cerita macam mana rasa. yang aku ingat airbag tu mengembang dengan cepat yang mana akan menyebabkan muka rasa macam kena tampar. atau cuba bayangkan kena hempok dengan bantal kekabu kuat-kuat. sakit tak ?. cuba buat. Yang aku cakap airbag tu perlu di tempat yang sepatutnya aje macam pelanggaran dari tepi atau pelanggaran dari hadapan dan juga dari belakang. Kepada encik DinKNight, adakah anda ada pengalaman macam saya ?. Kalau tak jangan nak kata sesuatu yang tak berilmiah. setiap set yang dipasang dalam sesebuah kenderaan itu adalah mengikut keperluan dan spec. Bukan main pasang aje. Ianya berdasarkan ujian simulasi pelanggaran.
Tentang trak yang dipasang intelligent system tu ianya berguna di luar negara sebab pematuhan jalan raya di sana amat kuat. itu hanya untuk mengurangkan kes pemandu tertidur waktu memandu. baik jugak tapi kosnya ?. Selalunya pemeriksaan puspakom pun lori dan bas kat malaysia skip.

however, judging from the comments I am reading, it seems many of you accept the norm that many people view the seatbelt as an option when driving and not mandatory. These people need to grow up/mature/get an education and learn that the seatbelt MUST be worn at all times in a vehicle, yes even when the car is stationary.

It is not the fault of airbags or car munufacturers if you don’t survive in a crash because of your own ignorance in not wearing the seatbelt..

What, you guys can make better airbags than them? Show us.

i was wondering during collision, what would happen if the middle person in 3seater at the back forgot to fasten the middle seatbelt?
punch on the head!

Agree Sam. Also ABS, EBD, BA, VSC, TC. It all helps one fine day…you just dun know when

No one is saying that airbags are useless,

Airbags are useless when malaysians can’t be taught to wear seatbelts.

No point 8 airbags in a car when you dont belt down, the force of you hitting the airbag will be just as fatal as flying through the windshield, especially for children.

The idea the of the air bag is for suplementary safety (SRS a clue to you?). The seatbelt is still your primary restraint.

You will most likely survive without an airbag, you most likely wont without a seatbelt…even if you have airbags.

I know people that insists that “got airbag mah, no need to wear seatbelt also can…”. For these people, it would be better off that thier cars don’t have airbags….at least maybe they’d wear seatbelts.[/quote]
yea… you are correct man, he don’t taste yet the deployment of airbag. Even it soft but it slam my face like been slap by bare hand. it hurt to. but lucky im survive (remember kid’s don’t ever put any emblem on top of airbag). From that day i always remember to wear seat belt at lease for my 1% safety. We can see the accident and police ticket most go to unseatbelt. So if u have any car that have 20 airbag in car, with strong body frame & up to date impact avoider still can’t protect you to have major injuries if not wearing seat belt even some said seat belt only safe you 10% but to me enough already. More safety fetures have to add by all car manfacturer are u not wear any seat belt the car will not move even inches…

I blame the idiocy of the drivers and passengers (and even some readers) who don’t use the seatbelts. Do they think the seatbelt is a decoration?

Frankly I think people who don’t wear seatbelts when driving are asking for trouble. There is absolutely NO excuse for any adult or child not to wear a seatbelt in a car. The Europeans got it right to make these kind of laws.

The airbag is to help save your life in a crash. Frankly, I rather be alive than dead.[/quote]

Agree with Dinknight. it is all about safety features being incorporated into cars. Many manufacturers (except for some obvious ones here) are making cars safer each year. Same as like engine advancement to cut down co2 and reduce fc. Whether ppl wear appreciate them or not it is a totally two different stories altogether. Same as seat belt issue or driving dangerously for eg. By the way, accident can still happen to you even you are driving carefully and cautiously on the road ! I need all these advance safety features, no two way about it. What about you guys ?

WTF are you all! Air-bag is so common at overseas until you all still in dinosour world thinking that air-bag can kill a person like you! If air-bag are design to kill WTF they implemented into cars!?!?[/quote]
encik littefire. cik cuba baca bebetul dan paham bebetul. I tak kata dengan keadaan sekarang. tapi mungkin satu hari nanti kalau pasang penuh satu kereta. Kalau aku kata bodoh, marah, melenting tak tentu pasal. Ramai yang ada kat dalam blog nie paham sangat apa fungsi airbag tu. kereta aku pun ada airbag gak. penah gak aku kemalangan. terima kasih sebab ada airbag tu kalau tak aku tak ada dalam blog nie. Airbag hanya perlu dipasang dikawasan zon remuk teruk dan yang punyai potensi kecerderaan teruk jadi potensi nak mati tu kurang. kengkadang cakap ngan monyet lagi dia paham dari orang nie. however PNW

curtain,knee,head and side airbags are good enough for me!

best of all is the driver’s knowledge. lol. if the driver is good, he can avoid accidents, machiam transporter.lol.
